Christopher Conlon, author of poetry collections "Gilbert and Garbo in Love, " "The Weeping Time, " and "Mary Falls, " and the novel "Midnight on Mourn Street" turns his attention to the short, violent lives of Charles Starkeweather and Caril Ann Fugate. With a haunting depth and sensitivity, Conlon explores the possibilities that made human beings turn savage in the middle of America, and follows the doomed pair on a bloodthirsty journey made all the more tragic by its reality.
